Xtc - Travels In Nihilon lyrics

You've learnt no lessons All that time so cheaply spent There's no youth culture Only masks they let you rent Travels, travels in nihilon We've seen, no jesus come and gone Fashion, their vampire Drapes itself across your back As you fall from style It waits rebirth on its rack Building your whimsy Hypnotising you to need Dance goes full circle One step ahead of your greed You've learnt no lessons All those years to get it right Flashes of promise Burn out faster than strobe light
